Has Obama’s Economic Policy Been a Failure? :
Has Obama’s Economic Policy Been a Failure? Since Obama took over and signed the stimulus bill in March 2009:
Economic Catastrophe – Avoided
GDP – up
Stock Market – up
Unemployment – declining slowly
Spending – Higher but less of an increase than was typical of Bush years, and reasonable considering our economic needs.
My Verdict:
Remarkable success considering where we could have been.
